File a complaint against the person who has committed fraud against you with the police. Obtain DD No. And wait for 30days till the police takes any action. After that you may file a CC under section 156(3) and 190 cr.pc in the court for the court to take cognigenze in this matter. You need to keep all the documents which show that they have committed fraud against you

without going into merits of the case and from your version, it is classic case for criminal offence under section 378,417, 420 ,406.465 of indian penal code. Try to recover money through civil proceedings also. Make concerned bank staff also accused in the said case and bank also, to know their version on this.
